I had to order my Vulcan fan from the uk. Well under $200 with shipping. I quite like it. It definitely does move some air especially at stove temps over 600f. It needs a temp of a little over 400 to even move. I like mine quite a bit

Well, I hope everyone is happy! Reading this thread, plus a timely 15% off coupon from ebay led me to buy one of these...

Reproduction of an East India '1818' fan. For some weird reason, it's billed as a 'steam' fan, but pretty clearly a Stirling design. It's designed to run off an alcohol / kerosene burner, not stove top... but since it's a repro, I wouldn't have much hesitation cutting it down and/or remodeling it to work on a stove top. As mentioned above... more a conversation piece as opposed to real air moving - though most Stirling fans can at least whip up a modest breeze. Downside is, the burner is mostly enclosed, so you don't get light and heat like some of the Lakebreeze models.

They work off temperature differential. If the engine was stuck in a fireplace, there might not be much temperature differential after a bit.

I'm thinking an insert with side bays that house the blowers like the PE. The hot side would be in contact with the firebox and the cool side could have a little vent window or louver on the outside. An adaptation of this drive would be interesting.
